If that wasn't already enough excitement, the first teaser trailer for the next animated Pokémon movie has now been revealed during the Japanese television show Oda Suta. It sees the return of Ash and Pikachu in an all-new adventure.

As you can see, the 30-second clip shows off lush jungle, a new Tarzan-like character swinging from tree vines, a relic, a baby in a temple (which some fans think might be a flashback), and Ash and Pikachu get a second of screentime.

The title of the movie in Japan is Pokémon Coco and it will be fully animated in 2D, even though the previous movie embraced 3DCG artwork. It's due out in Japan on 10th July, but there's been no mention of when it will be released outside of this region just yet. Below are some screencaps:

I think that the Pokémon brand, in general, isn't interested in creating a girl character with such a theme. Boys yes, but not girls. The majority of female characters in the Pokémon anime and animated movies are designed as cute or attractive looking girls that are doing cute and attractive things. Even Iris, who is also a wild jungle kid, like the boy in this movie, was designed much cuter by wearing not jungle or cavemen clothing, but rather a cute looking dress with a big bow.

They are not really very experimental with their female characters in terms of design and personality. So, a girl would have never been an option for a Tarzan-like character.

@RareFan no sorry I don't think we know if that's a girl or not unless you want to drop an article you've seen before seeing this article that made you believe otherwise.And I don't agree with you assumed premise on the "type" of character the female charachters* have to be.But feel freee to have that opinion
